Elder statesman and frontline industrialist, Dr. Chike Obidigbo, has stated that Nigeria is bleeding profusely without any hope for urgent healing and redirection.

In a statement on Friday, Obidigbo, who is the president of Osisioma Foundation, said President Bola Tinubu should realise that he inherited a crop of kleptomaniacs from former President Muhammad Buhari’s eight years of maladministration and rejig his cabinet.

He stated: “Nigeria is bleeding profusely, and there seems to be no doctors around to control the loss. Although the current socio-economic chaos in Nigeria was not entirely caused by Tinubu, it is surprising that his foot soldiers cannot help him out in redirecting the country.

“No doubt, Tinubu inherited most of these crises from the previous administration who drained the country’s resources to the point of near depletion.

“The President should urgently weed out incompetent aides that have not made any appreciable effort to revive Nigeria’s once robust economy.”

He recommended the following:

“Very serious and severe cuts in the cost of governance across the board,

“A bold head-on and total war on corruption and corrupt practices, both covert and overt, especially along the corridors of power and among all persons and corporate institutions, as well as countries with dealings, directly and indirectly with public resources.

“Provision of major and necessary factors of production. Serious control over security challenges, and every other factor that could impinge on production.”
